[quote=Anonymous][quote=RedTailHawk]This was my child.  Everyone said just wait - it is not a milestone DC should have yet.  At 4.5 they started learning rhyming in pre-school - and she absolutely could not do it, despite being able to describe rhyming, the process for doing it etc, for > 12 months.  Turns out significant delay being able to learn pre-reading skills is dyslexia too (I thought it was only delay learning to read).  Kindergarten staff basically laughed and said can't be dyslexic so young.  Fortunately we got intense private help and her reading skills were back on track in a year.

So - it could absolutely be just a fluke.  However if you have concerns, see a speech pathologist.  Some speech therapy places like Treatment Learning Center periodically offer free screening.[/quote]

I also know kids who couldn't walk at 6 months and went on to be found to have CP.  While it's true that the very small number of kids who walk at 6 months usually don't have CP, not walking at 6 months is not a sign of CP.  It's a sign of being 6 months old.

I would also question your dyslexia diagnosis.  If one year of intense reading intervention got a kid completely on track, then the dyslexia diagnosis is quite suspect, since dyslexia is a life long condition, and would continue to impact her acquisition of skills.  [/quote]
